Samlar machu (Khmer: សម្លម្ជូរ) is the Khmer language term for a category of sour (machu) soups (samlar also samlor salaw or salor) popularly known in English as simply Cambodian sour soup. The soup derived from the Vietnamese sour soup canh chua.The sour flavour of the soup comes from the use of tamarind (អម្ពិល) and certain tangy vegetables such as tomato (ប៉េងប៉ោះ) and pineapple (ម្នាស់) as well as Tiliacora triandra leaves (ស្លឹកវល្លិយាវ).
